Forecast Discussion
After some really nice weather since the weekend, we enter a much more unsettled/damp weather pattern. A complex low pressure system is organizing over the southern Plains and tracking to the northeast into Illinois by Friday morning. A southerly inflow out of the Gulf of Mexico will transport moisture northward into the Carolinas and produce some wet weather lasting through Thursday. Rainfall won't be terribly heavy, but it will be persistent.
A cold front associated with the low pressure, now over the plains, will push milder air ahead of it on Friday. We may see some intervals of sunshine on Friday ahead of the front, which could boost temperatures, although showers remain a good bet. A thunderstorm will also be possible Friday afternoon or evening as the front moves into the mountains. Rain will end Saturday morning leaving us with some cloudy skies. Sunday looks like it will be a decent day but it will be slightly cooler over the weekend.
